  • System and method for spinning up a rotary element of a mechanical device, particularly a turbomachine
    Patent number: 10066500
    Abstract: A system comprising a discharge valve that allows some of the fluid generated by a fluid generating source and intended for a drive torque generating member for a rotary element of a mechanical device to be removed so as to limit the corresponding rotational speed, this being done for a length of time that allows a thermal gradient to be reduced sufficiently that a phenomenon of deformation of said rotary element can be prevented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 4, 2018
    Assignees: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SAS, AIRBUS SAS
    Inventors: Alexis Manneville, Norbert Hirtz, Valentin Theard
